Growing up my dad worked for Nestle, which means we had a plethora of items to keep any sweet-tooth person happy. Of all the treats dad would bring home my favourite was always Milo, a malted milk product that we would ladle into mugs of milk, or eat straight from the jar.

Over the years there were various Milo products, including Milo chocolate bars. Oh, how I loved those bars! I believe the bars have been discontinued but the original Milo product is still going strong – and the tin gets quite a workout in my house.

To celebrate Australia Day I thought I would use Milo to make two easy desserts that are designed to be eaten together – although I won’t dob if you eat them apart.

My father also worked for a company where he would come home with lots of goodies. At one stage he was offered a job with Red Tulip and we wanted him to take it because of all the chocolates we imagined he would bring home. But he didn’t take it – he took a job with a company selling cleaning products! xx

In a way my dad’s job almost turned me of chocolate as an adult: we used to eat so much choc, Quik, choc bits etc that now I only eat small amounts of dark chocolate. To do this day the mere thought of Milky Bars makes me want to be ill 😦 Bet your mum was happy when hubby started working for a cleaning company!

Not knowing what Milo was, I turned to Amazon and found it. Being the canister had a footballer (soccer player) on its label, I doubt if Milo is made here. Still, if it’s a chocolate product, I’m all for it. Both dishes sound like great ways to celebrate the holiday. I hope you’re enjoying the day.
